The Return of the Shacket

With chambray popping up just about everywhere, the good old denim shirt is in danger of being overshadowed. Luckily, it’s pretty cold out there, and you’re going to need something a little stronger than lightweight cotton.

This shacket-style workshirt from Filson is loose enough and tough enough to sandwich between a button-down and a duffel coat—a combination that should protect you against just about anything the gods of winter can throw at you. It doesn’t come within a mile of slim-fit—Blackbird even suggests sizing down, which we haven’t heard in years—but if you’re really bundling up, you might appreciate the extra room.
